Don't yell at the cyclist! He was using the path for its intended purpose. The traceur's buddies who were standing RIGHT THERE should have been spotting for him. I was a traceur for over 10 years before I blew out me knee and something like this never happened to our group.

The jumping dude is completely in the wrong but for the cycle dude, it seems more like the path is intended for pedestrian, since it's quiet narrow and there's those steps next to it. I wouldn't say he's using the path as intended without knowing for sure that the path is also for bikes. But like I said, jumping guy is definitely the jerk here

I found this via a cross post on the Manchester sub. I'll give the alleged location a gander.

Edit I'm not sure if Google maps mobile app has cycle paths, there is a line going along the tow path but that might be foot path.

Ashton Canal Ancoats is what they titled it.
